Overview

This skill maintains project state across multiple conversations over days and weeks. It tracks tasks, decisions, blockers, resources, and links to related conversations, then generates status reports and proactive reminders. The goal is to keep a single, up-to-date project record so work continues smoothly between chats.

How this skill works

The skill listens for mentions of a project name and automatically updates the project record with new tasks, status changes, decisions, blockers, and resource links. It stores a canonical project file and timestamps changes, aggregates content from all related conversations, and can produce snapshot status reports and actionable next-step reminders. Scheduled or trigger-based reminders are issued for upcoming commitments and unresolved blockers.

When to use it

Coordinating multi-week or multi-party projects across many chat sessions
Keeping a running log of decisions and action items from recurring meetings
Tracking blockers and resource requests that span days or weeks
Producing consolidated status reports for stakeholders
Setting follow-up reminders for deadlines and commitments

Best practices

Always name projects consistently so automatic updates attach to the correct record
Summarize decisions and tasks in a single sentence when updating to reduce ambiguity
Include links or identifiers for conversations and artifacts to preserve traceability
Mark task states clearly: pending, in-progress, completed, blocked
Schedule periodic reviews to confirm the record reflects reality

Example use cases

Product launch spanning design, engineering, and marketing with updates across many chats
Client onboarding where requirements, meetings, and deliverables are recorded over weeks
Internal process change tracked through recurring check-ins and action item follow-ups
Remote team coordination with distributed decisions and resource requests
Research project that accumulates links, notes, and decisions across interviews and analyses

FAQ

How does the skill decide which conversation belongs to a project?

It matches explicit project names or identifiers you provide. Consistent naming and including a short project tag in messages improves accuracy.

Can it remind team members about their tasks?

Yes. It generates proactive reminders and suggested follow-ups. You can request individual or team-level reminders and set timing or recurrence.
